Camshaft Choices

[spitfirees20]

So this winter I want to do a cheap PI Camshaft install, as per this guide:

Cam Swap On SOHC 4.6 1998 GT

The problem is, I can't seem to find any PI camshafts anywhere! So here is my two part question:

1) I plan to go supercharged in the next couple of years or so. Instead of the PI cams, could I use the crower stage I cams instead for a supercharged application, or should I wait and find some PI cams? I will be running N/A for awhile, so I can't be losing power by running the wrong cams. Has anybody done this?

2) If I do get the crower cams, can I install them like the stock PI cams in the guide, or will I have to re-time them?

Thanks in advance!

Anybody? I don't know anything about cams

look on ebay, theres always pi cams on there, im taking mine out in about a month and a half....

 

[spitfirees20]

I did, none on there right now. Would the Crower Stage I's be a worse choice than the PI cams?

not sure about crowner stage 2, what are the specs for them....

PS Your car is awesome, you've got basically the exact same look I want minus the spoiler, I think I'm going spoilerless. SN-95's + Cobra R Hood + Cobra Bumper =

So I'm staying N/A for now but eventually want to go supercharged, would they work in a supercharged application or would I be better off going with PI cams?

when I did my PI swap I went with comp cams 262's I love them because they are perfect for boost and still have that bad ass rumble. I'll make a vid if your interested

Sure, a vid would be awesome. Where did you hear that they were good with boost?

My buddy who was also my builder has been in the mod world for a longg time and knows his stuff. He hooked me up with these because I plan on doing a single turbo set up when I re-build my bottom end. It is a very mild cam. vid will be up shortly
